This small, circular chromolithograph from the "Novelties" series of trading cards issued by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company depicts a woman wearing a red hat adorned with pink feathers. Produced in 1889, the card is an example of the popular Victorian-era trend of using collectible cards to advertise tobacco products. The image showcases the fine detail and vibrant colors characteristic of chromolithography, a printing process that allowed for the reproduction of detailed imagery. The card is a testament to the artistic and cultural trends of late 19th-century America, showcasing the popularity of tobacco products and collectible cards.
